The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-06-22

WHEN, more than quarter of century
ago. the loyal soldiers of the nation were
fighting the battles Of their country, and
brave men We're pouring out their blood like
water that the people of to-day might have
country, they regarded every confederate
battle flag captured by them as a trophy of
victory and an indication that another step
had been gained in the desperate struggle
against treason and rebellion. And when,
after the final victory was won they depos-
tied those captured standards with the gen
eral government FOR safe keeping, they
expected that they would forever remain as
emblems of their patriotism, loyalty and
valor. They little thought that, while many
of them were yet in the prime of their man
hood, the nation would be Inundated and
themselves insulted by a man who, then in
the vigor OF his youth, served his country by
a substitute, and who. by a combination of
fortuitous circumstances. occupies IN this
year of grace, the highest office within the
gift of the people They little thought that
any president would take it upon himself TO
order those same banners to be returned to
the states from whose regiments they were
captured This action on the part OF Presi-
dent CLEVELAND provoked a storm of ind;g-
nation throughout all the northern states,
and especially and Justly aroused the resent
ment of the members of the grand army of
the republic who, with scarce an exception,
denounced the president for issuing such
order. 1t was claimed that he had exceeded
his authority by the PRONUNCIATION of the
order, and immediate steps were taken to
prevent its being carried into effect, and a
pressure was brought to bear that even GROVER
CLEVELAND, with all his stubbornness, could
not withstand, and he was compelled to
countermand the order he had made. Under
his administration, union soldiers have few
rights that ex-rebels are bound to respect.

Now let Mr.. CLEVELAND order the return
to JEFF DAVIS of the female disguise in

good to lool, upon that old waterproof cloak
once more. by ali means, let him have it,
but don't give up the flags.

The LEADING CLOTH|ERS, HAT TERS2FURN|SHERS

Nearly eighteen years ago the firm Of
JOSEPH Mickey & co. established The
Boston One-Price Clothing House in st.
Paul, and from that time up to the pres
ent it has not ceased to grow and expand,
until to-day it is without question the
largest Clothing House In the West Ex-
tensive improvements have been made by
them to their present store and to-day
they occupy three floors and basement 40
feet by l45, OF, in all, over twenty-three
thousand square feet Of store room.
Probably not more than three clothing
stores in the world occupy as much space
for the exclusive retail sale of Clothing,
Hats and Furnishings. The wonderful

House is due in great measure to the fact that they
pay strict attention to the quality of the clothing that
goes on their counters and have done much to develop
the sale of Readymade Clothing in ST. Paul by raising
the standard Of excellence. Only the most reliable and
best known manufactures Of clothing are represented
in their store and while there still exists in the minds
ola very few prejudice to ready made clothing,
still by far the large majority of men who formerly
patronzed merchant talo1s exclusively are to-day the
best patrons Of THE BOSTON, St. Paul. What better
endorsement of the superior excellence Of their clothing
can be had than the fact that in nearly every instance
suit or garment bought here looks and wears we'll

tailors? The men Of to-day, while paying more aten
ton to dress than formerly, are looking more carefully
after their expenses and think twice before they leave
their measures at taors. Twenty electric arc lights

entire length, they contain stock and assortment
equal to any exclusive hat furnishing house in the
West while the popular prices keep these two depart

developed requiring to-day the exclusive attention of

Prohibition.

Tn response to the query as to
whether prohibition kills n state the
Toledo Blade, one of the most prom
inent papers Of the nation, says;
"The present population of Kansas
is 1900, 900. 1t is the most prosper
ons, popular and blooming state in
the Union. A parallel to its growth
and prosperity cannot be found in
the annals of recorded time.
And every word of it is the simple
plain truth, and connot be success
fully contradicted Prohibition has
made Kansas. 1t has advertised her
high moral sentiments aud induced
thousands to come here to rear their
BOYS in the paths of sobriety and
good order and we defy anyone to

his boy may be free from the evil in
Auence of the saloon, who will say it
is failure. Not one can be found.
All are satisfied that is far ahead Of
the saloon, and all the fathers and
mothers who are Interested in the
welfare of their boys will work and
vote for n continuation OF Kansas
prohibition. 1t has come to stay and
will stay, and is one of the greatest
achievements of modern times
